Production & capabilities

We buy stone as raw blocks and process it in our own works through four stages, until it becomes slabs and pieces ready to supply.

    01Selecting and sourcing blocks

    Every material starts as a block. We select and buy large stone blocks from quarries and factories in Greece, Turkey, Italy and South America; they arrive in our yard and are numbered before cutting.

    • Greece
    • Turkey
    • Italy
    • South America

    OutputA numbered raw block

    02Cutting blocks into slabs

    The block is set under a gang saw, a frame of parallel blades that cuts it into slabs. Because the slabs come from the same block, the veining runs on from one slab to the next.

    OutputFull slabs from one block

    03Cutting to size

    When a project needs specific pieces, the slab goes onto the bridge saw table and is cut to the dimensions required: tiles, treads, sills, or pieces to the project's drawings.

    OutputPieces at the required dimensions

    04Automatic polishing and bonding

    Slabs pass along an automatic line where polishing heads work the surface until the stone's colour and veining come through, alongside the bonding operations carried out on the slabs.

    OutputSlabs and pieces ready to supply

What this means for your project

Because we saw and cut the blocks ourselves, you can order stone in the form that suits your project.

Full slabs

Slabs as they come off the block, suited to large areas and designs where the veining should run on.

Cut to size

Pieces cut to the dimensions you specify: tiles, treads, sills, or pieces to drawings.
